Free training to learn life-saving skills is being offered for free in Jersey.

NAPA Medical said people could attend its Seaside Resus event at St Ouen's Bay on Saturday where they can learn how to perform resuscitation.

The team will be on the beach front of the RNLI hut at Le Port from midday until 16:00 BST.

Nathan Judge from NAPA Medical said the training was family-friendly, free and would include hands-on demonstrations of CPR.

Nathan Judge said CPR training should be free and enjoyable

He said: "There is a huge gap discrepancy in CPR training... it should be free, it should be enjoyable and fun.

"We are taking it to the beach because Jersey is surrounded by water and families will be taking children to the beach in the summer.

"It's going to be good weather, come down, get a tan and learn how to save a life."

He said studies showed the amount of chest compressions people should be doing was between 100 and 120 beats per minute.

"For the younger people, Sabrina Carpenter's Taste sits at 107 and Pink Pony Club which I sing is right in the middle as well," he said.
